Hi Dennis,
Thanks for pointing out those pages. They indeed have the information
I was asking for for those three goals. Might I suggest that these
three pages are very clearly not examples but the basic usage guide
for these three goals and would be much more visible linked from the
usage page or better yet included in the goal explanation pages?
thanks

Hi David
Great to get some feedback on the docs. I think we have "prepare",
"perform" and "branch" covered pretty well with these pages:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/prepare-release.html
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/perform-release.html
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html
So I guess we'd need two more covering "rollback" and "clean".

I find that the release plugin docs don't give me an adequate idea of
what to expect to happen in svn when I run
release:prepare
release:rollback
release:perform
release:branch
After some experimentation I think I know what happens for some of
these:
release:prepare makes 3 svn commits
- update current project to release version
- create tag (from what? I have no idea)
- update current project to next development version
release:rollback, in an indeterminate number of commits, undoes
anything
committed since release:prepare was run for the first time in this
release attempt. In particular if you tried to commit build fixes
that
only became evident during release:prepare, they will get undone.
release:perform makes no svn changes
release:branch I have no idea about.
I suspect it would take about 15 minutes for one of the authors to
update the docs with some accurate info along these lines and I
doubt I
would be the only one appreciating the effort.
thanks
